  • Bordo, Susan. “The Globalization of Eating Disorders.”

    $7.00

    Synthesis #2 Assignment Sheet

    Paper relative on text: Bordo, Susan. “The Globalization of Eating Disorders.”

    Overview

    The last major assignment of the semester is also the longest and requires the most work with argument and revision. This Synthesis #2 essay must cover a topic under the broad umbrella of “Health and Medicine”and include at least 10 secondary sources. Once of these 10 sources must be an essay from the “Health and Medicine”chapter. You may/should certainly use items found in your Bibliography assignment, too.

    In fact, you have more freedom with this essay in choosing your own topic, finding your own sources, and crafting a style and thesis to fit your needs and intentions. This will be a standard academic exercise that introduces (or reacquaints) you with the research process in the context of formal “scholarly” writing.

    The Assignment

    Compose a 10-page/10-source Argumentative Synthesis in the topic area of “Health and Medicine.” Being a thesis-driven paper, you should plan to identify and outline your claims early in the essay and then use evidence that is accurate, representative, relevant, and adequate to support your position(s). No matter your choice of topic, you must present an arguable thesis and guard against counter-arguments. Remember: This is not (merely) an informative paper wherein you simply report on a topic like “World War II” or “Why I like Cats” (both real papers that students have submitted to me in the past). Instead, you must take a position and persuade your reader using a variety of methods.

    Composing Advice
    Do not simply support one of your sources as the only way to see something; instead, decide your approach and use the sources to help you build points. You may certainly string together points from several articles and combine them into a persuasive statement of your own. This is one way to see how a synthesis builds.

    $7.00

    You will be building up a formal, researched justification report that culminates in a recommendation to implement a particular product, service, or program in your place of employment. This recommended product, service, or program should resolve a problem that you identify in your workplace and should be directed to your employer (even if you do not actually plan to share it with your employer).
    Use the basic outline below to draft your paper. Organize your responses to each question under the following section headings:

    • Overview of Alternatives (for Question 2)
    • Criteria (for Question 3)
    • Methods (for Question 4)

    4. Describe in detail how you will conduct the research needed to determine the best recommended alternative to your employer

  • Stardom and Celebrity in the Media: The Wedding of a sex icon

    $15.00

    Stardom and Celebrity in the Media

    Word length: 1,000 words (essay)

    Richard Dyer argues that stars are made up of two elements, first “what they consist of, their production” and second, “the notions of personhood and social reality that they relate to” (2004:2).

    Drawing from Dyer’s explanation of the star, choose from ONE of the following topics to construct an analysis on:

    • specific celebrity/star death
    • The wedding of a sex icon
    • A celebrity/star scandal

    Your analysis should be geared towards answering the following questions:

    • How is the event presented across multiple media?
    • How does the framing of the event change or reinforce that star’s image?
    • How does this story fit into a wider discourse of other stories about this particular kind of star or kind of story?
    • How does this event relate to broader theories on the notion of stardom?

    Marking criteria:

    • The essay shows evidence of an understanding of notions of the star as text;
    • The essay demonstrates a critical approach to analyzing how the event fits into broader notions of celebrity and concepts in media studies, rather than just    description of “what happened”;
    • The essay cites at least three scholarly sources and demonstrates secondary research;
    • The essay is adequately referenced;
    • The essay is composed of a central argument with a clearly developed thesis statement;
